Asha stunned the audience with her impeccable imitation of Shamshad Begum, Noorjehan and Geeta Dutt. But, as she later pointed out, it wasn't too much of a strain since she was used to changing her voice to suit the actresses on whom her songs would be picturised.

This past week, for one evening only, the Virgin Records outlet at Times Square became an Asha Bhosle store. The in-house DJ played Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar and Aaja Aaja, Main Hoon Pyar Tera, while a couple of hundred desi fans waited patiently, and in an orderly manner, for the Bollywood diva to arrive.

Tandon says it was a huge challenge to create a balance between a legend like Asha and celebrities who were not regular singers. “But Asha’s choice of singers is fantastic, and the project has turned out very well,” he adds.
Gifted with one of the most versatile voices in the industry, Asha has sung every genre of song, be it pop, club mixes, romantic numbers, bhajans and ghazals. Asha's zingy singing has made memorable many of the cabaret numbers by yesteryears' diva Helen.
ERLICH: Bhosle just released a two-CD set in North America called Love Supreme. It includes some of her favorites performed in concert as well as tunes that made her famous in Bollywood.
